Does it have any widgets lines the cure day/time/weather or 5 day outlook.

I’m one of those people that would rather have a weather widget on my home screen than opening an app every time.

Sentau,

Yes it has tons of widget option with clock + weather being one option and weekly weather being another

Very nice. Searched some time for a GW replacement but none fullfilled my needs like this!

Glad I saw this post today, downloaded and love it straight away! So clean and exactly what I wanted out of a FOSS weather app.

Nice app. I’m currently using the yr app from the Norwegian weather services. It would be great if that API could be implemented.

I only have one choice for weather data as it stands.

cinnamonTea,

From what I see, MET Norway is an option for weather sources, is that the right one?

Akasazh,
@Akasazh@feddit.nl avatar

It only gives me the one option in the app. But MET Norway should be it…

cinnamonTea,

For me it’s when I add a new location, then I get to choose what sources to pull from

Akasazh,
@Akasazh@feddit.nl avatar

Yeah but there are not as much options there as the ‘help me choose’ GitHub link suggests. Open météo is the only option.

Will have to look into this later.

cinnamonTea,

Very strange. I installed through the neo store a week or so ago and have a couple options https://lemmy.ml/pictrs/image/bc980ffb-7168-40f4-a3a9-9e8a68eeb8a5.png

cinnamonTea,

The version is 5.1.8_fdroid, which is the same one I also see in fdroid

Akasazh,
@Akasazh@feddit.nl avatar

In neo store it allowed me to install the Izzy version, which lets me select multiple sources. It’s weird not to have that in every install, though

cinnamonTea,

Definitely strange… Glad it worked out, though

I’ll try the neo store version later and see if it differs somehow. In the documentation there’s some take about ‘flavors’ of the same app, which is a bit bizarre imho.

Phrey,

It looks like it’s excluded from the F-Droid build.

My favorite feature is the 1-row weekly weather widget for my home screen. I have that next to its 1x1 widget for everything I want at a glance using minimal space.

Lemming6969,

Customized widgets is my number 1 desire for most apps

freebee,

yeah maybe i’m dumb, but for example in the put a few cities widget they offer, I don’t seem to have the option to show for example air pollution instead of temperature. Bummer.

Why is this in privacy? It has like a million unnecessary permissions

synestine,

Really? Such as?

obviously a weather app couldn’t possibly use your location for anything, must be spyware

  • read the contents of your shared storage
  • run foreground service
  • ask to ignore battery optimization.
  • view network connections.
  • view Wi-Fi connections.
  • run at startup.
  • set an alarm.
  • expand/collapse status bar.
  • run foreground service with the type "specialUse"
  • run foreground service with the type “dataSync”

None of these are used in my other weather app =\

SqueakyBeaver,

Most of those are optional lol The only ones that aren’t are the network ones, and after looking at the source code, it’s mostly used for error messages

Why does it need to read and write to my contacts?

ChaoticEntropy,
@ChaoticEntropy@feddit.uk avatar

Have you asked it to show contacts as suggestion? If not then deny.

swordsmanluke,

In order to add their names to your dictionary. You don’t have to allow it. But given that there’s no internet access for the keyboard - it seems pretty safe

lemmyreader, to privacy in Breezy Weather: An open-source, privacy-friendly Android weather app forked from the now-unmaintained Geometric Weather

Impressive.

@pezhore@lemmy.ml avatar

Hrm, I can’t find that on my FDroid install. Anyone else having that same issue?

ClearCutCoconut,

It’s on the IzzyOnDroid repo!

N4CHEM,

But also on the main F-Droid repository. I can see both results when I search (see screenshot in my other reply).

N4CHEM,

I can. Have you tried updating the repository information in your app?

pezhore,
@pezhore@lemmy.ml avatar

Ahh that did it. Well, more accurately it led me to the problem - I had installed fdroid on a now deleted alternate profile. Uninstall and reinstall fixed it.

Cheers!

Tried it out but my language sadly has the wrong layout so for now I’ll stick to Gboard with disabled internet access.

My weather app of choice for about a year now. Really nice interface and solid performance.

Quill7513,

I’ve landed on it as the best blend of accurate and not terrifying for security

Cool looking app. I wish it was available on Google Play for people not familiar with third party app downloads.

Uploading to Google Play involves significantly more work.

csm10495,
@csm10495@sh.itjust.works avatar

Understood. I just think it could spread and be enjoyed by lots more via that path. Of course, it’s all up to the devs.

critical,

And fees

It’s the best weather app for Android. Beautiful design and great optimization.

David, to opensource in Breezy Weather: An open-source, privacy-friendly Android weather app forked from the now-unmaintained Geometric Weather

Been using it for a while now. Great Weather App

jol, to opensource in Breezy Weather: An open-source, privacy-friendly Android weather app forked from the now-unmaintained Geometric Weather

Ohh I’m so glad. I was on geometric weather and it stopped working a few weeks ago. It’s a beautiful app.
